Am wondering how well both roam on other cdma carriers outside their own? Like you could with a photon 4G sprint could but not a samsung touch 4G.
Also how does the sprint verion hold out in comparison to verizon?
Can either be used on att tmobile ect?
Verizon version I believe comes unlocked an might work on LTE depending on your area.

I've ran into an extended network on the MD PA line and tested server in VA. Did not look at the time to check who's tower it was. Result.

Edit: That is a Verizon tower. No idea why banner listed it as extended.
I know sprint and verizon are both cdma but what is their a differnce between their phones? or are they same just have thier own software differences?
Verizon can be used on any gsm carrier. And that's all of verizon lte devices. Sprints can't I don't believe. All of verizon phones are unlocked. I get h+ speeds when I use mobile or att SIM cards. No lte. I hear though once aws is activated by verizon you can use T-Mobile lte

Verizon is unlocked and will work on Tmobile and ATTs HSPA+ networks. No GSM LTE but great if you're roaming and need a temp solution.

thats right you are! keep being impressed. last year i did a very extensive testing of all 4 major networks. i did the tests just like this in three different markets. elizabethtown kentucky=rural indianapolis=metro louisville kentucky=mid way
and in the 30 days i tested the carriers sprint destroyed the other. i never lost 1 call with sprint, i lost 6 with att. 4 with tmo. and 1 with verizon. data speeds, sprint beat them all with verizon in second. and data while traveling (75 mph on I 65) i had data 100% with sprint, i hit a dead spot with verizon and att and tmo i didnt have it 30% of the time.
but anyways i ended up choosing sprint again. no one comes close to them IMHO.
thats my rant. i cant wait to get some developing on with the evo when i get it.
In your case it worked well, but I live in San Diego in a quite popular area and sprint service is mediocre at my house and my wife's workplace. In fact, at her workplace it is terrible. At&t was much better
Just shocked me but its up!

Where abouts in Ventura? I wonder if it up and running in Thousands Oaks and Santa Barbara.
from the looks of things there may only be one or two towers in the Oxnard/ElRio/Ventura area.
Not much to write home about at this point.
In case anyone was wondering, I just tried 4G in the UCSB area and its not here yet :/
From what research I have done, sprint just has line cards in the towers and all towers in So Cal are owned and maintined by Clearwire. It appears that Clearwire has also cut back on the roll out of 4g. Oxnard tower maybe the only tower in Ventura county to get 4g for a period of time till clearwire and sprint can work out all the details.
new to ventura, put up a u600 with cradlepoint mbr1200 with cradlepoint router both read full signal 77dBm but i am experiences consistent 1.0-2.2 Mbps down .30-.80 up i have done a bit of research and have not been able to solve this issue
there isnt any in simi and its in ventura county
i live near barnes and nobles in ventura and no 4g yet.
All,

Samsung says "sometime in august". Hope I can continue waiting. Been off contract on my 3gs for 1 month and it's killing me.
Yes I read a similar article at mobile burn website that the GSII will be released most likely on the three major carriers (sorry four), not sure.
Your best bet is to buy the international version of the Galaxy SII b/c it comes completly unlock and you will take advantage of all, I mean all of its features then to buy the at&t or other American Telecom variant b/c they will mess them up very bad.
They giant telecoms will install their own software and firmware that they'll even disable the most menial features the Galaxy SII can perform and in order to fully enjoy it you'll have to end up rooting it and having to install custom ROMs (nothing wrong with that if your'll willing to take the dive), but I love my unlocked Galaxy SII.
Normally I'd know who you're talking about, except all signs have pointed towards Sprint getting one so now I'm not sure who you mean!

Well pao23 which carrier are you on now? I'm on at&t and it was convenient for me to get the unlocked Galaxy SII b/c it is compatible with at&t's HSPA+ network on frequencies of 1900/850 Mhz (which are the ones here in America on at&t), but if you have Sprint, then it uses a different technology (CDMA) not GSM/HSPA+ so you'll have to wait until the CDMA version is released by Sprint.
HEY AMERICA! I'll probably have a quad core phone by the time the SGS 2 gets onto your soil!

Hi guys,
In the summer I'll be in a rural area without cable/dsl internet connection, but I still want to be connected to the internet. The only gsm network with ok coverage is at&t over there.
I'm looking for cheap data. At least 2 gigs. I'm only using it for a month, so a 1-year contract or so is not a good idea.
The cheapest I could find was at h2o wireless: the 60$ month plan for 2GB.
Does anybody else know any good alternatives? In Europe almost every supermarket has it's own provider with low rates..
Thanks so much
Straight talk. Their website offers sim cards for at&t and T-Mobile, and they're 15$. You can use any unlocked GSM phone, and at&t phones need not be unlocked. Once you've purchased a sim card you can port a number or get a new one. The monthly service is 45$, and is available at Walmart as a prepaid card.

I'd like to get one and my easiest way of acquiring one is through a local carrier, but I'm worried if it will have some kind of pitfall. Will I stop getting updates? Will they be slow to arrive? Can it be turned to a stock pure version without the bloatware via a stock rom? Is it worth it? Keep in mind it's the XT1563 latin american version. And the carrier is Nextel.
I bought mine from Mercadolibre (XT1563), I wasnt aware I got the double sim version until I opened it, it seem mine runs with the iusacell rom.
I have been asking my self the same questions.
Updates may be a bit slower to come out. As for bloatware, the only one I found on my Koodo device was the Koodo Self Serve app.
I got mine through Telus, it doesn't have anything extra (Telus bloatware). Updates come in not to bad from them (timely).

Do you try 4g LTE networks with other carriers like Telcel?

Yup, 4G works really nice, at least on Telcel network in my area.
